Suicide and the Meaning of Civilization, Thomas G. Masaryk. 1881. Masaryk explains, "no one has yet undertaken a definitive explanation of suicide from the sociological point of view. It is precisely this kind of explanation that most concerns us here, for the question of the causes of suicide involves the very happiness or unhappiness of mankind" (3).
